Compiled and annotated by the great man himself, this superbly packaged set contains highlights of Johnson’s long and distinguished career. He is, of course, best known as the writer of a slew of classic 1960s/1970s TV themes including The Avengers, This Is Your Life, Animal Magic, The Professionsals and Whicker’s World, which are all featured here in their original versions on a 33-track CD which also features his film themes including Dr. Strangelove and Moonraker. A second CD collects together rare single tracks, some elegant and soothing concert works, music for state occasions and top-notch jazz from his London Big Band.
